Hotel near the Port of Baton Rouge

The Port of Greater Baton Rouge is a popular cruise stop on the Mississippi River. It is located in Port Allen, Louisiana, at the convergence of the Mississippi River and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.

Some cruise calls on the Mississippi coincide with the days the outdoor markets of Baton Rouge are open. The markets are crammed with delicious regional specialties—hot and sour pickles are just one example—along with impressive art and crafts.
